"Our findings suggested that people living close to the former U.S. air
bases might have been exposed to both Agent Orange and other sources of
dioxin-like compounds"” the scientists wrote.
A national symposium was held yesterday to shore up legal grounds to
demand the US government and chemical companies take responsibility for
the consequences of the Agent Orange/dioxin sprayed across Viet Nam
during the American War.
The contamination is believed to be caused by toxic chemicals used during the American War 1959-1975.
According to experts, the level of dioxins at the airbase is higher than at airports in Da Nang and Phu Cat, two others dioxin contaminated hotspots.
